What a beautiful place - HOT and muggy during the middle of the day, but in the morning, and in the evening, wow - gorgeous. We stayed at the Best Western Grand Marina, room 912 - great room, $89.00 +ttl per night, on Shoreline Blvd., fabulous ocean view, deck pool, laundry(!!), 11th floor continental brkfst in huge room with walls of windows on 3 sides, unbelievable. Great place to stay! We took a sunset triple decker boat trip in the CC bay for $12.00 pp for 1 1/2 hours, had sodas and snacks(beer,wine and mixed drinks too) very nice. I LOVE Galveston, but Corpus is quieter, the water is calmer, the beaches cleaner, and it's more of a real town, than just a tourist trap. We want to fly into Houston and drive down the coast and check out all the other little beach towns along the Texas coast, I think it's still very posible to get a little piece of heaven for a reasonable price! I have pictures!! You can rent a skidoo or paddle boat or a little sail boat 30 feet from where you park your car. I'm sure on holidays it's crazy busy, but we were there Sat - Wed. and it was active and there were people, but there weren't lines, the freeways were SO calm, even at 4:30 during the week. Lots of shopping, cute restaurants, things to see and do, kid friendly, artsy, just fun. Good place for a vacation. This page has a virtual tour, but we got a rate $20.00 a night less than what they quote on this page(Dan gets on line and hunts for rooms, he is great at finding the very best rate!)
Joe's Crab Shack(love that coconut shrimp!), sunset over the Corpus skyline - taken from the Flagship, and the Flagship - wouldn't it be a great house???
